I have Diehl skins with built-in glass 10.6 gal. fuel tanks. Outer wings weigh 68 pounds each, ready to fly, including outer WAF brackets, AN3 bolts, aileron, 2.6-pound balance lead, landing light, position & strobe, tie down bracket, fuel tank vent, fuel gauge sender, quick drain, paint and wing wiring.
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA smw...@md.metrocast.net ------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe that the Diehl are a bit heavier. I had stock built on my first KR, and they were about 40# and these are closer to 50. I would weight them for you, but they now have a 22# fuel tank in each wing. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC --------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil, Is that he complete wing panel with spars, fittings, paint etc.? Just trying to get a comparison on my built up wings. I've always thought I could save some weight if I replaced mine with the Dan Diehl skins ( vacuum bagged) but haven't been able to confirm how much I could save. Thanks Chris Gardiner KR2S- 220 hours total on GPAC VW2180 Thanks. Youre the first person to give me some useful information. ------------------------------------------------ I have wing tanks and Dan Diehl wing skins They weigh 50 lbs each.
